Jets land early QB in way-too-early 2027 NFL Draft mock

The New York Jets do the predictable in ESPN's way-too-early 2026 NFL Draft mock. This year's draft only just ended a week ago, but many in New York already have eyes on the Jets' draft next offseason. That's because the expectation is the team will take a franchise quarterback at that draft.

And they do in this projection. The Jets are predicted to pick at No. 3 and No.

17 overall (via Dallas Cowboys-Quinnen Williams trade) in ESPN's mock but the top selection is the interesting one. There, the pick is Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, who could've been taken at this year's draft had he left school. With the other first rounder, Alabama cornerback Zabien Brown is the selection.
